Capo 2 (optional)
 
C                             F 
I almost felt you touchin' me just now 
C                           G 
I wish I knew which way to turn and go 
C                     F 
I feel so good then I feel so bad 
G                    C 
Wonder what I oughta do 
 
 
  F 
If I could only fly 
C 
If I could only fly 
            G 
I'd bid this place goodbye 
              C 
To come and be with you 
  F 
But I can hardly stand 
C 
Got nowhere to run 
         G 
Another sinkin' sun 
               C 
One more lonely night 
 
C                               F 
The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day
C                                       G 
They tell me things get better somewhere up the way 
C                      F
Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day 
G                   C
Sad songs for us to bear 

FCGC x2

C 
You know sometimes I write happy songs 
F
But then sometimes little things are wrong 
C                              G
You know I wish they all could make you smile 
F
Tomorrow maybe we can get away 
C
I'm coming home soon and I want to stay 
G                                  C
I wish you could come with me when I go again 

F 
If I could only fly 
C
If I could only fly 
             G
I'd bid this place goodbye 
              C
To come and be with you
          F 
But I can hardly stand
      C 
Got nowhere to run
           G 
Another sinkin' sun
                C 
One more lonely night 

           F
If I could only fly 
       C
If you could only fly 
      G
If we could only fly 
           C
There'd be no more lonely nights
